livecd mnt / # umount /mnt/usb/ (optional)
livecd mnt / # reboot
Remove the Gentoo CD from the PS3 when it is restarting. On the next boot, it will automatically boot
into the installed Gentoo.
Where to go from here
Introduction
OK, so you've just finished on your PS3 and you're wondering what you can do with it. Firstly, here are a
few things you should do to make your Gentoo experience worthwhile.
What you should do after installation:
● Change the root password!
# passwd
● Install applications, or enjoy Gentoo.
Edit /etc/make.conf to add GRP package repository
# nano -w /etc/make.conf
Edit the make.conf file and add the last line. Do not touch the rest of the sections above!
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mtune=970 -mcpu=970 -mabi=altivec"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mtune=970 -mcpu=970 -mabi=altivec"
# This should not be changed unless you know exactly what you are doing. You
# should probably be using a different stage, instead.

Press Ctrl + X, then Y.
Updating Portage
Since there are a few bugs in the current version of Portage, it is recommended that you use at least
portage-2.1.2-rc4-8 if you want to download pre-compiled binaries of applications (GRP Packages).
echo "sys-apps/portage ~ppc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -u portage
You can now emerge GRP packages using the -G / -g switch while installing them.
Note that if you did not use emerge --sync in the fist part of the tutorial, you should do it now.
